8MATE GrantMA

Intuitive, DataOwner-centric authorization workflow

8MATE GrantMA integrates the data owners, such as department heads, directly into the assignment of authorizations using a simple workflow. Employees can easily request access to folders and files via a web-based interface - the appropriate data owner is automatically notified. If the latter approves the application, the authorization takes effect immediately.

Access rights - a matter of IT?

Traditionally, the granting of access rights to file servers is a process that is controlled directly by the company's IT. Because the underlying authorization structures are too complex and sensitive for employees in other departments to deal with. However, IT cannot take on one task - the decision of who should have access to which areas! If you want to assign access rights not only technically correct, but also factually correct, an elaborate flow of information between the IT department and the heads of the specialist departments (the data owners) is necessary.

Who decides on permissions?

The 8MAN module 8MATE GrantMA delegates the assignment of authorizations completely to the data owner. These then not only decide on the correctness of the requested access rights, but actually implement them with a simple click in the web interface - without going through the IT department! The efficiency of the assignment of authorizations can thus be increased considerably, especially in complex and dynamic environments. And the relief not only benefits IT. Because instead of disturbing the user with suddenly missing authorizations, the issue of access rights is now much more transparent for all employees and data owners.

Permissions can easily be requested and approved with 8MATE GrantMA.

Once a company has adopted the DataOwner approach, employees will soon develop an awareness of the organization on the file server. If, for example, the data does not have a data owner, then the data is worthless and can be deleted. Employees no longer store data everywhere, but associate them with the corresponding areas on the file server - perhaps you originally requested the authorizations for certain directories yourself and were thus integrated into the process.

The IT department can sit back and relax immediately after setting up GrantMA. And it's not a long way to go! Because GrantMA is completely installed and configured within a few hours. Each decision-maker is given individual powers via a role assistant and you can start relaxing! 😉
